Definitions
- Catheters include a tube which is inserted into the human body. Certain catheters are inserted into through the patient's nose or mouth for treating the gastrointestinal tract. These catheters, sometimes referred to as enteral catheters, typically include feeding tubes.
- the feeding tube lies in the stomach or intestines, and a feeding bag delivers liquid nutrient, liquid medicine or a combination of the two to the patient.
- a second tube is typically inserted through the patient's other nare.
- X-ray machines In some cases, health care providers use X-ray machines to gather information about the location of the catheters within the body. There are several of disadvantages with using X-ray machines. For example, X-rays from these machines are a known carcinogen, if received in sufficient doses. Also, X-ray machines are relatively large and heavy, consume a relatively large amount of energy and may expose the patient to a relatively high degree of radiation. Also, these machines are typically not readily accessible for use because, due to their size, they are usually installed in a special X-ray room. This room can be relatively far away from the patient's room. Therefore, health care providers can find it inconvenient to use these machines for their catheter procedures. Furthermore, it can be inconvenient to transport these machines to a patient's home for home care catheter procedures.
- the tube assembly is configured to allow: (a) enteral feeding; and (b) gastric suctioning or decompression.
- the tube assembly is configured to be used in conjunction with a tube assembly guidance system.
- the tube assembly includes a first connector and a feeding tube having: (a) a first end connected to the first connector; and (b) a second end configured to allow enteral feeding.
- the feeding tube has a first length from the first end to the second end.
- the tube assembly includes a second connector connected to the feeding tube.
- the tube assembly includes a suctioning tube configured to receive the feeding tube.
- the suctioning tube has: (a) a third end connected to the second connector; and (b) a portion configured to be placed through a patient's nare.
- the portion includes a fourth end configured to allow suctioning or decompression of the patients stomach.
- the suctioning tube has a second length from the third end to the fourth end.
- the first length is greater than the second length by at least a distance from the patient's stomach to the patient's jejunum such that the second end of the feeding tube is configured to be released and advanced into the patient's jejunum to allow enteral feeding into the jejunum while the fourth end of the suctioning tube remains positioned in the patient's stomach.
- the tube assembly includes a magnetic field generator.
- the second end and the fourth end are configured to be simultaneously advanced into the patient's stomach.
- feeding can be achieved using the feeding tube; and (b) suctioning can be achieved using the tube.
- the second connector is releaseably connected to the feeding tube such that, after the second end the fourth end are placed into the patient's stomach, the second end is configured to be advanced from the patient's stomach into a small bowel of the patient while the fourth end remains in the patient's stomach.
- the tube assembly includes a sleeve configured to secure the third end to the second connector.
- the tube assembly includes a plug configured to stabilize a position of the feeding tube relative to the suctioning tube.
- the first connector includes a first y-port connector
- the second connector includes a second y-port connector
- a method of tracking a first end of a feeding tube and a second end of a suctioning tube which in configured to receive the feeding tube includes: (a) causing a processor to execute instructions to operate with a display device to display a reference image; (b) causing the processor to execute the instructions to, using a magnetic field generator, operate with the display device to display a first position of the first end and the second end; and (c) thereafter, causing the processor to execute the instructions to operate with the display device to display a second position of the first end, the second position being different from the first position based on the first end being advanced into a lower intestine of the patient, the second end remaining at the first position.
- the tube assembly disclosed herein thus is used with only one nare of the patient and is for both feeding and suctioning. If gastric feeding is not tolerated by the patient's stomach, the feeding tube can be advanced into the small bowel of the patient with the aid of a tube assembly guidance system, thereby eliminating the need to transport the patient to a Radiology Unit or Gastroenterology Unit. Advancing the feeding tube and suctioning tube at the bedside reduces therapy downtime, x-ray exposure and costly procedures practiced in Radiology or Gastroenterology.

- the method of tracking the placement of the generator 58 includes first step of determining the length of the feeding tube 50 and the suctioning tube 51 . Next, prior to placing the suctioning tube 51 into the human body for suctioning and the feeding tube 50 into the human body for enteral feeding, the user or assembler places the magnetic field generator 58 at a desired location within the feeding tube 50 .
- the health care provider places the transceiver 32 on the patient's chest and inserts the suctioning tube 51 and the feeding tube 50 into the patient's stomach through a patient's nare. While doing so, the display device 22 displays graphics 37 that help the user in guiding the end of the suctioning tube 51 and the end of the feeding tube 50 to a desired location within the human body. Once the end of the suctioning tube 51 and the end of the feeding tube 50 are placed in the desired location, the user can remove the signal generating assembly 16 while the position of the suctioning tube 51 and the feeding tube 50 is maintained as shown in FIG. 6A . The user then attaches medicine and nutritional delivery tubes to the y-port connector 44 for introducing fluids into the body for medical treatment.
- the signal generating assembly is reinserted into the feeding tube 50 , and the end of the feeding tube 50 is advanced into the small bowel of the patient as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C . While doing so, the display device 22 displays graphics 37 that help the user in guiding the end of the feeding tube 50 to a desired location within the human body. Once the end of the feeding tube 50 is placed in the desired location, the user removes the signal generating assembly 16 while the position of the suctioning tube 51 and the feeding tube 50 is maintained. The user can then reattach the medicine and nutritional delivery tubes to the y-port connector 44 for introducing fluids into the body for medical treatment. In this example embodiment, as the end of the feeding tube is advanced to the patient's small bowel, the end of the suctioning tube 51 remains in the patient's stomach to allow suctioning and decompression as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C .
